B Team Football Finals

Today saw 9 Year 5 footballers travel to Stukeley Meadows to compete in the B Team Football Finals. 


Our team of Alfie W, Francesca H, Sam T, Alfie W, Tom S, Ryan B, Elliott B, George and Matthew P (GK) faced tough competition from Stukeley, Brampton and Westfield schools. It was a tough afternoon, not only was there a bitter wind, but, the pitch was very muddy and undulating. 

Our 1st match was against Westfield:
Westfield 2 – 0 Crosshall
Westfield kicked off the 1st half scoring 1 goal. We kicked off the 2nd half and Westfield scored again. Crosshall spent most of this matched pinned in their half, but, defended brilliantly. 

Brampton 2 – 0 Crosshall
Brampton kicked off our 2nd match scoring a goal in each half. Crosshall again defended brilliantly and Brampton had to work really hard to break down our defences. 

Stukeley 0 – 0 Crosshall
We kicked off this final match which was evenly balanced. Both teams had numerus attempts on goal, but, both goal keepers stood firm and kept clean sheets. 

Final Positions
1 Westfield 9 points
2 Stukeley 4 points
3 Brampton 3 points
4 Crosshall 1 Point 

Many thanks to Mr Henson for refereeing some of the matches and the parents who braved the cold, windy weather to support the team.

B Team Football Tournament - Victory for Crosshall!

Our first B Team Tournament of the season saw a team of nine Year Five pupils take on teams from Winhills, Priory and Middlefield at home.

The team consisted of George & Matthew P, Francesca H, Sam T, Alfie W, Alfie W, Tom S, Ryan B and Elliott B.


Crosshall 0 – 1 Winhills

Our 1st match saw Alfie W take on the goal keeping duties, keeping a clean sheet until the last minutes, when Winhills scored an unbelievably luck goal. Matthew and Ryan both had near misses on goal.


Crosshall 2 – 0 Priory


In the 2nd match Alfie and Matthew swapped goal keeping duties. We dominated this match having numerous attempts on goal during both halves. Francesca opened the scoring in the 1st half, backed up by Elliot scoring the 2nd goal in the 2nd half.


Crosshall 2- 0 Middlefield


Matthew continued with strong goal keeping duties in our 3rd and final match keeping a clean sheet. Again, we had the most possession with numerous attempts on goal. Elliot scored both goals in this match – one in each half.


We had to wait until the end of the final match (Winhills V Priory) to find out if we had won as we were currently tying for 1st place with Priory. Priory needed to beat Winhills by 2 goals to win. The final score was Winhills 0 – 1 Priory. We had won on goal difference!


The team now go through to the B Team Finals later in the season.
